Global Shanghai Remade: The Rise of Pudong New Area

Abstract

This book unpacks the development of Pudong, Shanghai from its earliest planning into a global city centre through multiple perspectives. In doing so, it explores the role of key decision-makers and actors, the strategic planning process, the approaches to urban development, and some of the iconic projects that define the rise of Pudong, Shanghai, and China itself. The book combines the analyses and findings from these perspectives into a framework for a broader understanding of city-making with Chinese characteristics.
